New Samsung SD card allows for 43,000 hours of continuous recording

If you rely on your dash cam to back you up in case of a crash but find that your SD card is always dying, Samsung’s new PRO Endurance SD microSDHC/microSDXC card might be just the thing you need.

The Samsung PRO Endurance SD card can handle up to 43,800 hours (or five years) of continuous video recording, according to a press release issued this week. The product is “designed for consumers … who use intensive video monitoring applications such as surveillance and security cameras, body cameras and dash cams.”

Samsung says that capacity “offers 25 times higher endurance than previous speed-focused cards” and “sets a new standard for capacity with its 128GB of storage”.

To make the new technology even more trucker friendly, Samsung promises that the PRO Endurance SD card is designed tough — meaning that it is water, temperature, magnetic and x-ray-proof.
